    <para>The following command will change the location of GCC's default
    dynamic linker to use the one installed in <filename

    class="directory">/usr/include</filename> from GCC's include search path.
    Issue:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">for file in gcc/config/{linux,i386/linux{,64}}.h
do
  cp -uv $file{,.orig}
  sed -e 's@/lib\(64\)\?\(32\)\?\(x32\)\?/ld@/tools&amp;@g' \

    <para>In case the above seems hard to follow, let's break it down a bit.
    First we copy the files <filename>gcc/config/linux.h</filename>,
    <filename>gcc/config/i386/linux.h</filename>, and
    <filename>gcc/config/i368/linux64.h</filename> to a file of
    the same name but with an added suffix of <quote>.orig</quote>. Then the
    first sed expression prepends <quote>/tools</quote> to every instance of
    <quote>/lib/ld</quote>, <quote>/lib64/ld</quote> or
    <quote>/lib32/ld</quote>, while the second one replaces hard-coded
    instances of <quote>/usr</quote>. Next, we add our define statements which
    alter the default startfile prefix to the end of the file. Note that the
    trailing <quote>/</quote> in <quote>/tools/lib/</quote> is required.
    Finally, we use <command>touch</command> to update the timestamp on the
    copied files.  When used in conjunction with <command>cp -u</command>, this
    prevents unexpected changes to the original files in case the commands are
    inadvertently run twice.</para>

    <para arch="default">Finally, on x86_64 hosts, set the default directory
    name for 64-bit libraries to <quote>lib</quote>:</para>

        <listitem>
          <para>Since a working C library is not yet available, this ensures
          that the inhibit_libc constant is defined when building libgcc. This prevents
          the compiling of any code that requires libc support.</para>

      <varlistentry>
        <term><parameter>--without-headers</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>When creating a complete cross-compiler, GCC requires
          standard headers compatible with the target system. For our
          purposes these headers will not be needed. This switch prevents
          GCC from looking for them.</para>

        <term><parameter>--with-local-prefix=/tools</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>The local prefix is the location in the system that GCC will search
          for locally installed include files. The default is <filename>/usr/local</filename>.
          Setting this to <filename>/tools</filename> helps keep the host location of
          <filename>/usr/local</filename> out of this GCC's search path.</para>

        <term><parameter>--with-native-system-header-dir=/tools/include</parameter></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>By default GCC searches <filename>/usr/include</filename> for
          system headers. In conjunction with the sysroot switch, this would
          normally translate to <filename>$LFS/usr/include</filename>. However
          the headers that will be installed in the next two sections will go
          to <filename>$LFS/tools/include</filename>. This switch ensures that
          gcc will find them correctly. In the second pass of GCC, this same
          switch will ensure that no headers from the host system are
          found.</para>
